How to Find the Best Food Trucks for Sale – June 2015 Blog Post

Smarter Finance USA wrote a great blog post about how we are their go-to custom food truck builder and we are honored. You can read the article by clicking here or the picture below.

Below is an excerpt from the article:

True Story:

A few months ago, we had a customer, “Matt”, who had found some equipment on Craigslist that seemed to have a pretty good price, and initially seemed legit.

The “seller” told Matt that he had two other buyers so he better hurry up and move – but he’d hold the equipment for $1,000 deposit.

Matt plunked down the $1,000 and got approved for financing… but the seller then changed the price and started getting physically aggressive.

Long story short, Matt never saw that $1,000 again.

This isn’t to say that there aren’t honest deals to be found, but we encounter these sort of stories often.

Here’s a good alternative to taking your chances with classified ads

(that most buyers don’t know about…)

Many custom food truck builders also have an inventory of used trucks available.

While buying a truck from the manufacturer might not be quite as inexpensive as buying off of Ebay, there are 2 very important advantages of getting your truck from a dealer/ manufacturer:

1. You are extremely unlikely to get ripped off

2. While a private party selling a truck has a big incentive to be dishonest with you about the true condition of a food truck, a dealer has a reputation to protect. This is especially true in the food truck industry as it is a very small, tight-knit community.
